Leader-Post Elevator Rescue FYI

An occupant at the Hotel Saskatchewan in Regina was trapped in an elevator that was stuck on Monday night.

The Regina Fire Service received a distress call at 9:50 p.m. and they arrived on the scene within three minutes. Just as they arrived on scene, the elevator returned to the main floor without assistance from the fire department. The occupant walked out unharmed.

"It's really not that big of an incident," said Deputy Chief of Regina Fire and Protective Services Layne Jackson.

He added that the cause of the elevator becoming stuck in the first place is unknown.

"It was stuck for a short time but just as we were on scene it returned to the floor," said Jackson. "We didn't have to do a rescue."
